You may see your past having an effect on your present today as something that you’ve said or done comes back to you in an unexpected manner. Mercury and Pluto are in a tense transit that will be amplified by the fact that they are in opposing signs - Fire & Earth do not get along easily! Given the nature of this transit and the energies involved, it is likely that there will be disagreeable repercussions that arise right now. It will also be a challenge to make any decisions under this influence since it seems as if you can see only the most negative of potential outcomes. The only way to manage this energy is to take everything at face value and consider how you can use it as a learning opportunity. Deal with each situation as it comes up in as open and positive a manner as possible and then move on. You don’t want to dwell on anything right now as it will only bring doubt and mental struggles that could prove debilitating. Use Smokey Quartz to help you extract the good and useful elements and leave the rest behind. Indicolite (Blue Tourmaline) will help you to benefit from the energy by balancing the more challenging aspects and showing you how to merge the opposing elements to produce a positive outcome.
